Salman Khan Returns to Koffee With Karan Solo!

Salman Khan is reportedly slated to return to 'Koffee With Karan' for the highly anticipated Season 9 premiere. The actor has allegedly confirmed his participation to host Karan Johar, with the new season expected to launch around October or November 2026, potentially coinciding with the Diwali festivities.

This upcoming appearance is noteworthy as reports suggest Salman Khan will be the sole guest, a departure from his previous two stints on the show. In Season 4, he appeared with his father, Salim Khan, and in Season 5, he was joined by his brothers, Arbaaz and Sohail Khan. His first appearance was in Season 4's premiere, and he later returned for the show's 100th episode in Season 5.

Salman Khan and Karan Johar share a close professional bond dating back to the 1998 film 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. Johar has previously recounted his nervousness directing Khan for the first time, even getting emotional on set when Khan agreed to wear a suit instead of his initial casual attire for a song sequence. The reported return of Khan has generated considerable buzz, although official confirmation for his solo debut and the full guest lineup remains awaited.
